[cisco-voip] Is Your CCIE Status on Your Cisco.com Profile?

It wasn’t intended to be mean.

Just an observation.

Would be nice if CCIEs (that aren’t associated with a partner), are given more access similar to what is available to partners.

I can’t count the number of times going through support forums something links to a partner only link.

I’m probably in the minority, but just a different view point.

I admittedly haven't opened a TAC case since fixing my status, so the benefit has yet to be seen by me.  I did notice I can select Sev 2 online, however, Sev 1 was still disabled as an option when I took a cursory look.

So far no one has mentioned that it helped them get associated, or if they already were, so I'm not too sure if this was a valuable guide or not.  I'm afraid I might be the only knucklehead who earned his CCIE, promptly set it on a shelf, and didn't put it to work for me.
